NightSkyFire


Derangement:
          Nightskyfire, like most of her kind, has been struck with the curse of the Silver Fang tribe.  She is mad.

          Within her dwell four other distinct personalities that can, at moments of stress, appear to 'take over' the young feral.  Nightskyfire's own perception of what is happening is minimal.  She believes that she is being 'Moved by Elders'  -- that spirits from her past lives inhabit her skin and take action as they see fit.  This is incorrect.  Nightskyfire suffers from a multiple personality disorder, and the people she becomes have no real counterpart in Silver Fang history.

          The feral retains little memory of what actions the other personalities took.  And will fervently deny any responsibility for events that have transpired while one of the others walked in her skin.

          The other four personalities are fairly complete and strong.  Thus, each of them have a sense of self-identity and will refer to themselves by their own names.  All four are Lupus in Breed, Silver Fang in Tribe and female in gender, *but* each believes herself to be of a different Auspice.

To determine which personality emerges after a failed Willpower roll, roll one die 10 --

Result 1 or 2 -- Runs-in-the-Rain

 Auspice:  Ragabash
 Nature:  Cub 
 Demeanor:  Cub

          Runs-in-Rain is a cub.  She is only a year old and has not yet grown into the gifts of her Auspice or Tribe.  She is a happy youngling from the Primal Times.  When Garou roamed free on the earth, before men emerged from their caves.  She doesn't understand the Unbalanced Triat of modern times, and is utterly bewildered by men and their machines.  She literally has no concept of how these things came to be.  And forgets about them every time she is submerged.
          Thus Runs-in-the-Rain 'awakens' over and over again to a chaotic world that makes no sense at all.  She also does not know that there are other personalities dwelling within the same skull as herself.  And she has no memory of prior emergences.  Each and every awakening is a new birth for the young pup.
          Because of this, Runs-in-the-Rain is very innocent and trusting and loves to play games -- or tricks if her young mind can actually think of one.  She tends to get herself stuck in places too small for the large mature body she is now inexplicably wearing.  However she does enjoy the strength that comes with that same unfamiliar skin.  She laughs much but is easily intimidated by those she perceives as bigger than herself -- which is just about anyone. 

Result 3 or 4 -- Sees-Other

 Auspice:  Theurge
 Nature:  Visionary
 Demeanor:  Explorer

          Sees-Other is a starry-eyed adolescent from the beginning of what men call the Iron Age.  Sees-Other knows that things don't always -- and sometimes rarely -- work the way they should.  Her lack of ability in her own Auspice Gifts is obviously one of those things.  But that doesn't dampen her enthusiasm.
          Sees-Other knows that there are other people with her, but they are faint uninteresting phantoms that she doesn't pay much attention to.  She also has some sense that the world continues without her for -- occasionally long -- stretches of time, but... again, that only makes *her* time the more rare and precious.  And not to be wasted.
          Sees-Other is out there to explore, to understand, to create.  She has places to go and people to see.  She wants to take the entire world in and make it her own.  Since she was born during the beginning of the Impergium, she has little respect or care for humans, despite what they have done in the millennia since she last walked.  Borrrriiinnnnggg.  The Umbra, the Spirit-World, Caerns, Luminaries, spells, fetishes, etc.  *That's* what excites her.  And she's not going to let a little danger or the mundanities of life slow her down.

Result 5 or 6 --  Pride-of-Pack

 Auspice:  Galliard
 Nature:  Traditionalist 
 Demeanor:  Director

          Pride-of-Pack is a Silver Fang aristocrat from near the end of the Impergium.  At the height of her maturity and power, she can howl endless -- and tedious -- songs of the glories and honors of the Silver Fang tribe.  And she backs every pompous and self-aggrandizing decision with Silver Fang precedent and tradition.
          Pride-of-Pack has no use for humans or their 'fads', considering them gauche beyond words.  She is a Czarina of the Wilds. And as she *is* a Silver Fang aristo, it is her right to lead and make all decisions concerning her pack.  Unless, of course, there is a Silver Fang Czar present to do such things.  No?  Very well then. 
          Pride-of-Pack is also well aware that not all is as it should be in her world.  The Gift of her Auspice has somehow eluded her, and she seems to be subject to other 'difficulties' that polite Silver Fang don't mention.  Chief of which is the intolerable fact that there are other... 'rabble' making demands of her life and her skin.   And the Czarina is not happy about it.  Not at all.  And will let those around her know it.

Result 7 or 8 --  Last-Standing

 Auspice:  Ahroun
 Nature:  Predator
 Demeanor:  Curmudgeon

          Last-Standing is an ancient Garou who remembers the End of the Rage War with bitter clarity.  And that just tells her that no matter how many idiots she tears apart, there will always be more.  She enjoys hunting and killing humans -- stupid creatures that have brought this world to it's end.  Mind you though, if the Garou had been keeping them in line like they should've, they wouldn't be in this sorry state now.
          Last-Standing carries with her a strong prejudice against other shapeshifters, tribes, auspices, breeds, races, species, etc.  Matched only by her disgust with her own pampered, inbred, human-tainted and mad line.  She's pretty much pissed off at the entire world.
          Last-Standing is also fully aware that she is but one of five people crammed inside one tiny skull and considers that further proof that the world is a twisted and cruel place.  The fact that she can't use her Auspice Gift is just the maggot in the carrion to her.  Last-Standing also has the sneaky suspicion that she isn't real and is bitterly, bitterly resentful of the fact.  She is the personality that will fight hardest to maintain dominance, as she is well aware that she might not exist in another time or place.

Result 9 or 10 -- 

          Two (or more!) of the personalities attempt to gain dominance at once -- causing a schizophrenic and paralyzing 'fit'.
